Universal drawers to suit the rear of the D2?

[twr7cx]

Anyone know of any universal drawer systems that suit the rear of the D2?

I'm not wanting to go to the expense of vehicle specific drawers, and I also want them to be quickly and easily removed from the vehicle when not required/wanted. So what I am chasing is basically, a big rectangular drawer system that I can secure in place using the tie down points in the cargo area of the D2, like:

I faced a similar problem. Not wanting to spend $1500 or more I bought the modular drawers that you can get at Bunnings or Costco. The drawers are $50 each at Bunnings. The modular metal frame was cut to fit. So I made a unit with one drawer at the bottom. Above that on the left side I installed a sliding fridge rack for the Engel. On the right side I fitted four sliding plastic drawers. On top of the unit I left enough space beneath the roof lining to squeeze in bags, swags and other bulky but light objects. The whole unit is solid as a rock, not too heavy, and means I am more organised than I have ever been. Total cost was about $250. It has survived an absolute hammering on my most recent trip.

Alien, I think he said he didn't want to mortgage his house again.

Are drawers necessary? I have been offered a deal on ex-army solid plastic containers, 900x 550x380, they have a brand name, made in Melbourne. I was thinking a plywood shelf over the top, with tie down points, the deal is $500, for both. I could divide the drawers, into compartments. Bob
